sure you can lease mowers, i think Exmark has a link to it on their website, when i went to buy my 06 Exmark W/B, i bought it cash but when i got in there the owner of the shop was going through all this paper work and it was for me to lease it, but i told him i was going to pay cash, sopose he dint lisen to me on the phone....he told me it was about $90 a month for 24 months with $1000 down for a 06 Exmark Metro W/B,,,,i know a guy that leased a Toro W/B for about the same price, i dont see why tis bad, and its wat im going to do in the spring for my next Exmark Metro W/B.minds well have the lawns pay for the machine

Lease programs for mowers don't usually work the same way as a lease program for a car or truck. With a car or truck you have the option of returning the vehicle at the end of the lease or buying it. With most mower leases you buy the mower at the end of the term for one dollar (or whatever) and the mower is yours. It's treated by the IRS as a finance and not a lease and recovery is still due if you sell the mower.

I'm coming up on the one year mark with the lease on my Phazer and when I found out what I'd be paying per month I was surprised that it was less than I thought it might have been. I did not have $5K+ just lying around and I wanted to upgrade to a rider so a lease was the best option for me. I may do it again depending on what is being offered at the time in the form of interest rate % and X amount of time for the lease.

I don't know if putting money down would have made any difference in what I'm paying. If I do lease another machine I'd most likely put something down.
